Letters from the People.
A STAFF TO LEAN UPON.
OLYMPIA, Dec. 90, 1887.


EDITOR WASHINGTON STANDARD:
SIR: Allow me to call attention to
a subject OF vital Importance to the
public in general, being the supply OF
our daily bread, the staff Of life.
There is large amount of flour sold
daily in Olympia and used in Thurs
ton county, which is imported from
Oregon and California, in exchange
for coin, instead of being manufactured
at home, where it should be, and re-
tanning the money with us. The old
Crosby mill at Tumwater, manufac-
tured at profit a large amount of
-four in days gone by, but the world
moves, and improved methods of man.
ufacture have since been invented, the
roller process superseding the old
fashioned method of making -four
A baker, or housewife, will now use
-four manufactured by the superior
process, where superior article can
be obtained ut about the same figures.
There is no good reason why n SUI
perior article of flour could not be
manufactured at Tumwater to-day, at
price defying competition. The
Crosby mill is still there, and could be
utilized to good advantage, provided it
had modern machinery and intelligent
direction, the splendid water-power at
Tumwater giving it an economical
advantage over steam-power, of no
little importance. A SUBSCRIBER.
Subscriber" only states the truth
when he makes this declaration.
There is only need of II little well-di-
rected enterprise to supply the home
demand for flour, at least, by home
manufacture. One who possesses a
thorough knowledge Of the roller pro-
cess of manufacture and business
capacity, can find splendid oppor-
tunity for business at Tumwater.

deavors to place these lights where
they would do the most good, and has
been aided in his work by the efficient

THERE is movement among brew.
ers and malsters in the East to refuse
to purchase hops and barley grown in
prohibition states. The manufac-
turers say: "If they won't buy our
beer and whisky, it is proper that we
should refuse to buy their products. -
The Iowa farmers are designated rs
hypocrites, pretending to favor pro-
hibition and raising barley for the
manufacture of liquor. 1t will be ii
"war to the knife" from this time
forward, and prohibition States raising
barley and hops will find the market
for their products little contracted.

YELM, Dec. %, 'S7.
ED. STANDARD: l am very glad to
see that you take the proper view on
the Woman Suffrage question. !
don't see how any candid man can see
it in any other light. There was pc
tition in circulation on the Yelm in
favor of re-enactment of the law
signed by perhaps 25 or 80 persons
l asked several parties whose sigma
lures were attached thereto why they
signed it and they replied that "thcy
didn't think the Id thing would
amount to anything or they wouldn';
have done it." They simply signed
because importuned. l see by the
papers that several remonstrances
have been sent in. Had l known it
would have gotten up one myself.
could have gotten more names in two
days than the petitioners got in a
Ihohtil. ucIc are II uo@ch Soou iSsa

right OF suffrage and | have yet to set
one single reason why they should.

on the subject for publication. but AZ

Mr.. Conine was never more mis-

STANDARD endorses the fallacies of ~,
Il correspondent of its issue of the 9th
instant, TO which he evidently refers
in the above letter. After fifteen
years advocacy of impartial suffrage
during which time every argument
presented by ~ was fully met and
answered, and many others OF better
foundation. it seems indeed strange
that Mr.. G. should have mistaken a
a correspondents views, appearing
over what is universally recognized as
II bona .fde signature, as the opinions
of this paper. The STANDARD would
if possible, made mental development
the test for the elective franchise; but
as that seems impossible at the pres
ent time, it would not deny the right
under free government for everybody
to participate in making the Jules
which govern all alike and for the vio-
lation of which all are held responsible
While candidly acknowledging that
the experiment, SO far as it was tried
in this Territory, did not fully meet
the expectations OF advocates of the
law, it was scarcely to be expected
that the result would have been diff
ferent. The women had not been ed
ucated up to an intelligent use of the
ballot. They allowed prejudice and
passion to sway their judgment more
than the friends who placed the ballot
in their hands ever anticipated could
possibly result. They endeavored to
make it the means of correcting
abuses by theological forms as seen
through the lenses of creed and sect
They practically denied to others
the liberty they claimed for them
selves. All warnings fell upon un.
willing ears, and many of theil
staunchest friends sanctioned, while
they did not approve, the extraordi'

TAYLOR AND HIS RABBIT.

CHELSEA, i. T. January 4, 1851.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-As "Vinita"
wants some music tc dance to l
will give him a few notes which
will show him that Hon. Rabbit
Bunch will be our next chief.
1st. He is favor of keeping all
the land that is guaranteed to the
Cherokee people by treaty with
the United States.
2nd. He is in favor Of settling
this great question of intruders and
citizenship which involves the in
terest of every citizen Of the Cher
okee nation.
3rd. 1t was Rabbit Bunch who
said pay out the 100000 (the last
headlight paymcnD as the law di-
rected.
4th. 1t was Rabbit Bunch who
issued a proclamation to the sher-
ifs Of the several districts to cut
all wire fences, which every citi-
zen knows was a protection to the
public domain.
Now in conclusion Mr."Yinita, ."
any time you want to dance just
let me hear from you.

climb higher and higher until we
receive the recognition due us
from the foremost nations of the

THOSE SUPREME COURT

TonT GmsON, L. T. Dec. 81, 1876.
EDITOR INDIAN CHIEFTAIN:-Al-
low me to say for the information
Of your readers, that the case of
r. P. Lindsey VS.. D. w. Bushy-
head, principal chief, was dis
missed by the supreme court
because the process, instituting
the suit, was not served on the
defendant. The law empowering
citizens to sue the Cherokee ma
ton providee, that the suit shall
be instituted against the principal
chief. The process in this case
was against D. w. Bushyhead,
principal chief, but was not served
upon him, but upon Mr.. Bunch,
assistant and acting principal
chief. There was no pretence that
the temporary absence of the
principal chief prevented service
upon him as required by the law,
in due season for the hearing of
the case.
The case Of ]. NJ. Bryan VS.. D.
w. Bushyhead, principal chief,
was dismissed because the process
did not run in the name of the
Cherokee nation as required by the
constitution and the laws of the
nation and by the uniform practice
of lis courts.
The court in the former case
was composed Of Messrs. Keys,
Young, Drew and and in the latter
Messrs. Young, Drew and Wiley,
the last named gentleman having
been specially appointed 10 fill the
place of Judge Keys who was dis
qualified by relationship TO the
plaintiff. as | am informed. The
ruling of the court in these cases
was strictly legal and the attorneys
ior The nation did nothing more
than their duty in the premises.
Whether the Cherokee nation is
liable 10 the complainante will be
detarmined whom the courts pass
on their casns with the law and the
evidences before them
Respectfully.

language Of his communication
speaks Of such for him, but he
seems to show his lacking when he
don't know the manner in which a
jury is selected.
Then ifthis is to be political
fight on the character of these two
men through the columns of this
paper and they are to bring murder
trials and law executions also in,
we will begin by asking why il is
that so many murderers who have
been convicted by these so-called
"stocked courts" are set at liberty
by the same administration of
which Rabbit Bunch is one Of the
head2 II this Rabbit and his
voter are men who clamor so
loudly for justice to be done
through the courts, why sit mute,
with a smile of contentment beam
ing upon their countenances and
allow the Rabbit, perched upon a
throne Of glory, to turn thes con-
victed murderers loose upon the
quiet section of our country? These
things have been perpetrated and
Rabbits voter well knows the
facts as herein asserted.
/ can point to cases and so can
"Rabbits Voter" where men
have been convicted by twelve
good, honest men, Of murder in the
first degree, only to go to Table
quah and be turned loose by
this man of justice-the Rabbit.
These and various other cases are
examples showing the manner of
the claw enforcing" power oil the
Cherokee nation.
Look, all ye men of justice, look
upon the criminal record of Cher
okee nation under the Bushyhead
and Bunch administration and see
how the heartrending cries of the
widow and orphan have been
justified in the sight of the living
world. Yours,
WHITE ARROW.

WHITE MAN OBTRUsIoN AND
INDIAN "IRRESOLUTION AND


OBSTRCCTIVENESS."
The above words under quota
tion are taken from an article in
the Arkansas City Traveller of Dec.
8, on the offer lately made to buy
our strip lands. The other alike
gratuitous remarks the article con-
tains show the spirit in which the
question was entertained and sug-
gest the propriety of legal OBJ
structiveness to compel some
people to be honest in practice if
not in principle. The offer TO buy
our strip lands entire, at $500 an
acre, amounting to something over
$4,000, 600 diverges in the wrong
direction TO cause pleasant rehec-
.ions i'm the mind of our friend.
The amount is entirely too much
for Indians and should be divested
of its ampl" proportions until re-
duced 20 the more reasonable sum
of 100000 that it may come
within the sanctified estimate of
what an Indian should get for his
property. Two dollars and fifty
cents he thinks is about what we
should be paid, taking an estimate
lower than three dollars to be more
equitable in the interest of the In
dian, OF that less is best for him
and that more is for the white
man.
Kansas got taste OF a slip of
Cherokee lands along her southern
border at $3.50 per acre and would
like to have more at the same
price, but Indian "irresolution"
does not propose to sell at that
price or at any price at all.
Senator Plumb is quoted as au-
thority against any right We may
have to sell without the consent of
congress, which would be with
held in case an offer to buy the
whole was made and the nation
was willing to sell. Senator Plumb
may know much, hut as he is
neither a Joss, Brahma, or God
Almighty, there is room to doubt
His authority for what he says.

WHITE ARRoW HAS A SAY.

CoowEEsooowEE Disrmor. 1T. Jan. 5, 1877.
Mr.. EDIToR'--f have just read a
communication from the quill of
rabbits Voter" of Sequoyah
district, in which he wishes 10 eulo-
gize the actions of Rabbit Bunch
which he claims were committed in
the heat Of passion some thirteen
years ago; while on the other hand
he wishes to throw a damning in
huence over the character of Ex-
Judge J. b. Mayes by mystifying
the minds Of the people regarding
some trial in the far-distant past.
In this trial he tells US the court
was stocked from judge to jury"
What manner Of man is this who
tells us that the sworn clerk and
sheriff Of the court could commit
such crime against the dignity Of
the Cherokee nation as to 20 and
closet themselves, open the jury
box and pick therefrom twenty
four names Of men who could be
boughtio perjule themselyes2 This
man must be intelligent, for the
